Galilee Grill and Bakery

I’ve long felt that food is an important part of a culture, so, in my Humanities 242 classes (“Introduction to the Humanities of Islam”), I’ve always offered extra credit for (among other possibilities) experiencing and writing something up about cuisine from the Islamic world.

There’s always been Bombay House in Provo, which my wife and I like very much (though it isn’t precisely on target for my classes), and there have been various restaurants in Salt Lake City (such as Cedars of Lebanon and Mazza), as well as the option of preparing one’s own meals.

Now, I’m delighted to see that the Galilee Grill and Bakery is up and running in Lindon, here in Utah Valley:

We’ve eaten there several times.

The principal figure at Galilee is Ehab Abunuwara, who was born and raised in Nazareth.  (See also here.)

If you’ve ever spent time in Israel/Palestine, the Galilee Grill and Bakery will take you back.  If you haven’t, it will give you a real taste of the place.

I’m writing it up because I really want it to succeed.
